Analysis of Draft Picks

Continuing with Lucky's recent research, the folks at ESPN (more specifically Grantland) have produced some interesting stats as they relate to the draft.

It's not all that surprising in some regards, but it does back up the concept that some positions are safer to draft in the first two rounds, and some have higher bust rates. TE is the safest in the first two rounds, and OL is the second safest.

 

Similarly, no position other than QB drops off in production like OL does after the first two rounds.

 

There are always reasons to debate data like this - we've probable covered them all - this is still the most extensive analysis of the type that I've seen.
